Title
tracking of edits

Short, concise description of the idea
I want to be able to track edits to an entry.

Full description of the ideaIf I track a friend's entry, I am notified of comments there, and of edits on the comments there, but I am not notified of edits to the entry itself. Please let us turn that on. My preference would be that it is

Comments

NO.

I constantly edit -- mostly because I share photos, and they don't always line up the way I want them to. I do NOT want that tracked. Period.

Yeah, I pretty much never get longer entries right the first time.

I used to post EVERYTHING Private by default, then check it and edit it. That's how anal I am about it. (smile)

But my older sister Tracks to see posts, so I quit that...

This strikes me as a silly objection. When you edit a comment because you got something wrong, do you not want that tracked either? How is the system supposed to tell the difference between edits that change meaning of add significant information, and edits that are merely formatting?

Keep in mind, of course, that usually when someone tracks a post, it's at least a few minutes after it has been posted, so any initial edits you make wouldn't be tracked anyway.

[charliemc]

Whatever. Sorry to be 'silly,' but I've shared my personal preference. As, I assume, you've shared yours...

[solak]

Um. That's what Preview is supposed to be for. If the Preview feature is inadequate, then submit a suggestion about that.

[charliemc]

Well, back when I was first active at LiveJournal, Preview almost NEVER worked, so I've never been in the habit of using it.

What's the difference if I don't use Preview, by the way? You do it your way, and I'll do it mine, thanks...

Those who want tracking can turn it on. Those who don't want it can turn it off. The control is already in there, I'm just pointing out how it's inconsistent, and the feature I want is missing. You don't have to turn it on.
